Sorry guys, I was pissed at something else when I read the post and just overreacted, thats all, no need to start nothing, I appologize for my comments too.

Everybody just get along, OK? lol

Sorry @ arcane, no harm intended.

And yea, I realize my setup isn't top notch, but mostly it can get me close enough to what I want, I'm not trying to have a "pro" studio, just something for me to work with at home. After all, If I ever get to the point where my material is worthy, I will go to a "real" studio anyways.

i'm not saying that i havn't recommended gear, i'm saying that i like to stay away from it

people think that going from a $100 condensor to a $300 condensor will have a notable difference, with the same pre, room and recording setup otherwise. it's just not going to happen.

and yeah, i say 'don't get this' a lot, because there are some products that just aren't good, but i hardly ever (like maybe once a month) tell someone to straight out buy something

yet u said u didnt say it lol. i agree they wont see a difference without spendin some major doe. my only real issue with u saying things like that tho is that u often time knock gear that for this crowd would be decent if not great. But its alla bout Point of view and what u personally like in sound. Id say its safe to say u like a transparent sound in ur recordings i like body to mine so most of the gear u say is shitty ima say is fine and vice versa kuz i dont like transparent audio

yeah, maybe behringer gear would be great for some people on this forum, but they ask me what i think of it, so they're going to get my opinion, which is basically that it's not worth the money, and i'd never use it

i have nothing against any gear really, and 'better' is a really relative term in audio, because it's 50% preferance and 50% what the client wants. i've done mixes that i think sound absolutly horrible because that's what the clients are paying me for. yeah, i havn't put my name to them, and i sure as well havn't put them on my demo reel for trying to get future business, but i satisfied the clients and got paid.

3. Please, for the love of god, don't ask what the "best" gear is for $X. "Best" is quite possibly the most relative term when it comes to audio. There is no "best", there is only certain sounds off pieces of gear. There are literally thousands of Mics/Preamps/Compressors/Soundcards/Whatever out there, and nobody knows what they all sound like. If YOU are interested in purchasing SOMETHING, the best way to figure out if you like it is to GO TO THE STORE AND TRY IT. No one in the professional audio industry buys something before they've used it, it takes an extra five minutes at a store to actually listen to what you're buying and make a somewhat informed decision. On this note, you have to realize that an "upgrade" will not grant you anything more than a suttle difference, especially when going from say, a $100 mic to a $300 mic, especially if you're still using the same preamp and soundcard. This also goes for asking if X piece of gear is "good". The answer is always yes, but... Different pieces of gear are good for different things.
